DeeCee Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Well I never expected $200m+ for the TDKR. I thought par for a normal weekend would be about $185-195m. As others have said the midnights are the only unaffected number we can look at. Once the daily actuals are released we can compare the internal percentages and multipliers to other films. There's little doubt in my mind that the various ratios would be closer to TDK then to a Twilight movie. e.g.Midnights:opening dayOpening day:opening weekendDaily drops. We'll get a better indication on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) This is the week I had expected BRAVE would hold well. And then came this lunatic.This first numbers actually had Brave holding well, with a 35% drop. But now... I don't even want to look anymore.

Bitcher Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 it should make up lost ground in following weeks at least eveything except wimpy kid isnt aimed at families soon {nm} notfabio on Jul Did he just name Wimpy Kid as TDKR most direct upcoming competition? Although come to think of it, when you look at Bane in the movie, he may have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) The Bourne Legacy could be competition but you have to remember it doesn't have Damon and it looks like a "spin off" rather than a sequel in a way so it is not a sure thing Edited July 22, 2012 by John Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the family appeal is as great as some people think, but the numbers will tell the story. TBL and TE2 will be the other broader competitors.

AniNate Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 family biz is definitely sharply impacted today crowd is mostly college age and above so yes the aurora impact on attend is real {nm} notfabio on Jul 21, 16:10 imax is still doing more than fine but that core audience is that age and not families {nm} notfabio on Jul 21, 16:12 This is completely random but I'm saddened "Aurora" has now become shorthand for something so ugly instead of this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackO Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 What facts? There have been no facts other then what I have posted here. Notfabio works for a major theater chain. Do you? You don't like Batman or Nolan? Good for you. But don't try and spin a tragedy into your own agenda. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't try and spin a tragedy into your own agenda.I've never tried to spin the tragedy, I think it had a smaller effect than all the people that were predicting ridiculous numbers like 190-210m are claiming it did. Those numbers were NEVER in play anyways. Get off your high horse and stop trying to say I'm exploiting some tragic mass murder. Jesus you guys are priceless. Take off your Batman mask and atleast try to look at the circumstances of this OW objectively compared to TDK.

This was heading to a 180-190M. The effect is huge and we have several witnesses confirming that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senmitsuji Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) a few of my friends cancelled their plans to see it this weekend. Looking at it from the general public's pov, I probably wouldn't want to pay for something that I couldn't completely enjoy. I don't care how irrational you think that sounds. Not everyone cares that much about batman. For the casual viewers... the movie reminds them of the shooting, and I don't think there's anything wrong with them skipping it. It sucks for the cast & crew (and ppl who follow the box office) but what can you do. Edited July 22, 2012 by senmitsuji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm loving the way Shpongle and his playground buddies are painting people who say the shooting was the primary cause for the movie's disappointment as idiot Batman pajamas-wearing Nolanite fantrolls when at this point it's really anyone who's capable of an iota of rational thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixiesvision Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I spoke to at least 15 people since the shooting who all changed their minds about seeing it this weekend. The movies are about escape. Not to cruelly remind you that a massacre happened to a group of people who were watching the same movie as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
